Snakes for 6 ft (L) x 1.5 ft (H) x 1.5 ft (D) tank??

[tommymc]

Hey all,

I currently have a tank that is all wired up and its empty, as stated its dimensions are 6 x 1.5 x 1.5 I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for a tank this size. At the moment I have 3 coastals and 1 diamond, I was thinking maybe a water python but wasnt sure if this tank would be big enough?

Thanks in advance.

considered a monitor. Such as pygmy mulga, ridge tail or black head monitor ?

I like the idea of snakes because they are alot easier to look after, i used to have beardeds in this tank and i just prefer snakes better.

thanks though

 

[zacthefrog]

oh ok i can see where your coming from, and thats ok

That tank would be fine for a BHP or Water Python.

womas would be nice, not sure but BHPs might fit there as well

How would the heating setup go for a BHP, a ceramic or two and...

I like womas but in Vic i'm pretty sure they are on a more specified liscence

Yeah mate, they're on an advanced license.

 

[tommymc]

Yeah so I think I'll wait a few years before I get into womas

I would LOVE a Woma too... Think Vic should rethink the category's a little... I got my BHP in a enclosure a bit bigger then that one. Fits nicely

Bhps are fine in a 4x2x2. It would be fine in an enclosure with and extra cubic ft of space.

 

[tommymc]

Cool a BHP it is, thanks for the help everyone

deff id go a bhp, iv got a 6ft high red bhp going in a 6ft x 2ft tank next week, 1.5 would be fine too

 

[tommymc]

Yeah well hopefully I will be able to get one, this week I will go and have a look at a few

With the limited height a heat panel may be the best option for heating. But a bhp would thrive in that size

For heating I was going to put a pair of ceramics at one end (with cages of course) and heat cord in the floor at the other end, as the tank is melamine and easily done

true didnt think of that, how would you suggest to do the heating then?

mine will have a heat cord at 1 end of the tank and no heat in the other, just finishing the doors to go on and need to get power to it then it can go in it
